Abstract

A dental and facial imaging device includes an adjustable arm, an image sensor mounted on a first end of the adjustable arm and an adjustable patient positioning arm mounted on a second end of the adjustable arm. A distance between the adjustable patient positioning arm and the image sensor is adjustable based on an adjustable length of the adjustable arm. A position indicator scale of the adjustable arm includes multiple notches for calibrating the distance between the adjustable patient positioning arm and the image sensor. The adjustable patient positioning arm includes a patient teeth supporting device and a patient chin rest which are positioned at a fixed coordinate reference relative to the image sensor to capture an image of a patient's teeth. The fixed coordinate reference corresponds to co-ordinates of multiple anatomical planes associated with the patient teeth supporting device and a patient chin rest relative to the image sensor.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]The present disclosure relates to an imaging device used in the dentistry, facial imaging and, more particularly relates, to a dental and facial imaging device and a method of assembling the dental and facial imaging device.Discussion of the Related Art[0002]The “background” description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. Work of the presently named inventors, to the extent it is described in this background section, as well as aspects of the description which may not otherwise qualify as prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly or impliedly admitted as prior art against the present invention.[0003]With the advent of digital technology, imaging has become easier and more readily accessible. Particularly, application of digital imaging in dentistry, besides other medical fields, has gained importance over several years. For example, standardization and high-quality digital imagin...
